Always improving where and how we fish, Yankee Capts is excited to introduce an all-new trip. Focusing on the rich waters of the world famous Dry Tortugas, “Drifting & Dreaming” will consist of both bait and jig fishing while drifting over the area’s fertile reefs rather than anchoring. Target species will remain prized mutton and yellowtail snapper, various grouper and king mackerel. Drifting rather than anchoring will allow the captain to fish areas previously off limits. Drifting & dreaming trips are strictly limited to 25 anglers. Expect to fish areas of the Gulf of Mexico where anglers are permitted to harvest grouper, except gag grouper, which must be released. Expect average depths in the 100+ ft. range with near vertical presentations. The successful techniques we’ve been employing out at Halfway Ledge will be used during these exciting trips as well.

Sun, salt, and open rails. A perfect combination. IF YOU NEED YOUR SPACE, THIS IS THE TRIP FOR YOU! We reserve the right to overbook by three for any last minute cancellations or no-show’s. Spend 3 days aboard as Capt Greg chases trophy-class Mutton snapper in depths of 125 ft to over 200 ft. Every year yields some amazing fishing. This trip has become our best producers! Book early, only 30 spots available!

The limited-time opening of American Red Snapper season packs the Yankee Capts each year. This excursion seems to be our most popular trip in recent years so this time we have decided to spice it up a little. This trip WILL FILL, so book early! Every year yields some amazing fish.

The resounding success of the deepwater Pulley Ridge trips would be enough for most captains. Fortunately for anglers, it motivates the Yankee Capts. to raise the bar again. For those who have yet to be enlightened, to say Pulley Ridge is special is an understatement. It is among the deepest photosynthetic reefs in the world. Coupled with current flows and proximity to deeper water, it allows for some truly fascinating flora and fauna(read: fish, and lots of them!). After countless hours cross-referencing bathymetric charts with live data and catch logs, Capt. Greg has found an abundant fishery in the shoal waters of Pulley Ridge, one that is waiting for anglers to enjoy. Meet Pulley Ridge Lite. This new trip will focus in waters in the 200-400 ft range (conditions permitting), making electric reels unnecessary. As in the deepwater trips, long drifts over productive bottom will be the mainstay of the trip. In addition to drifting baits along the bottom, the shoal water fishery offers another amazing opportinuty: deep jigging! The fish in this area respond very well to vertical jigging, with anglers commonly catching “fire truck” red grouper, yellowmouth grouper, blackfin snapper, hambone snapper, mutton snapper, black grouper, yellowfin grouper, and much more all on deep jigs during the day time. After dark, the fishing continues in a similar fashion. Anglers typically switch to drifting with bait on the bottom for continued action on grouper and snapper. Those that wish to keep getting jiggy with it enjoy hot action with blackfin tuna through the night. This trip is sure to be a jigger’s delight.

2019 price: $795.50 per person.

My favorite part of this job is finding new places to fish. Since day one, my mentors drove home a simple points; never take your eyes off the fishfinder, always look for new areas and always keep learning. Clearly, these tactics has served us well over the years.

Over the last 24 months, it has become apparent to me that we’re passing over some very rich areas that show great promise. In particular is a stretch of broken bottom approximately 25 miles beyond the Dry Tortugas. I have been driving over this area extensively and I’m extremely happy with what I have seen. In fact, unbeknownst to passengers we’ve even made a few exploratory drops along this ridge and have seen an excellent showing of black and scamp grouper, large yellow-eye and mutton snapper. After extensive research it is now time to dedicate a couple of exciting three-day trips to Halfway Ledge.

2019 Price: $720.25 per person.
